Is Consciousness Continuous? A New Study Challenges Old Notions
Researchers have long studied how consciousness forms in the brain. Professor Ekrem Dere proposes defining conscious phases via behavioral observations and learning curves, using sudden insights to identify conscious processing times. Consciousness varies by task, and studying these phases can reveal brain mechanisms through imaging.
For generations, researchers have pondered the origins and mechanisms of consciousness in the brain. Professor Ekrem Dere from Ruhr University Bochum in Germany suggests a novel approach to studying conscious cognitive information processing. He proposes defining the phases of conscious cognitive processes through behavioral observations and learning curves.
“Learning is often not a gradual process, but takes place in leaps and bounds; you could say that humans and animals experience sudden epiphanies every now and then,” he says. “It’s likely that these experiences are preceded by conscious processes.” Dere outlines his new approach, which might apply to both humans and animals, in a paper published in the journal Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience.
